Full Description
Mixed Race Children (1987) challenges the stereotype of 'mixed race' children having identity problems, that they 'don't fit in anywhere', showing that many of the children in this study of radical identity and categorization had worked out their own positive mixed race identity. The study goes on to consider the circumstances under which such an identity seemed to flourish.
